19th Century Riding Temples

In 1880 spectacle makers took advantage of newly invented spring steel. They made temples that curved around the ear and held eyeglasses in place while riding a horse or running. The riding temple spectacles was very popular from 1880 to the early 1920's. When the automobile replaced the horse as the primary means of transportation, the riding temple spectacle faded from use.
